Remorse Cocktail

Not long ago I was worried we wouldn’t have anywhere to live but now it would seem we have TOO much housing. I’d thought things were finally lining up for me but…the short sale is likely going to fall through. And we’re moving out next weekend. So what now? No one has any answers for [...]

Some Hard Goodbyes

It’s all starting to sink in. To feel real. We will be moving. In just over a month. My first move since 1999, when I was single and pregnant. And thus my son’s first move ever. It’s really not *that* far away (maybe six or seven miles from our current location, tops) but the neighborhoods [...]

Off The Map

We spent much of the long holiday weekend at home or close to it, and that was a-ok. We stepped out for a showing of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (not worthy, but now we know), sampling the new breakfast menu at Cake Eater, and sledding in an amazing nearby [...]

There Is Room For Silence

You would think winter would slow us down some. That the drop in temperatures would impede our forward momentum, like frogs in a refrigerator. But it’s been just the opposite lately. We’ve been all go no slow, with holiday gatherings, photo shoots, errand running and other functions. At least my giftmas shopping is done. Maybe [...]

Glowing in the Gloaming

It’s been a fairly fantastic weekend. Much of it, Thursday-Saturday, was spent in NE Minneapolis: Get Your Art Rock On at Heliotrope (I’d intended to post more about it before it happened - whoops). My photos are here.
Thrown into the mix was a pediatric dental appointment Friday morning. In general dentistry and autism do [...]

Into the Weeds

And we’re back. With much catching up to do work-wise and life-wise. Trying not to let myself get too distracted or led away on tangents but it’s hard. And my To Do list seems to have bloated up in my absence.
We didn’t end up locating the bronze Fonzie statue before we left the Cream City [...]

Perfectly Normal Paranoia

“I never did get the hang of Thursdays.” –Douglas Adams
Yesterday I’d had a decent enough day and had been looking forward to a productive evening. Parker and I planned to have a push-up contest when we got home, before hitting up the Wii Fit for our daily workouts. But I realized that fresh batch of [...]

The Tranquility of Solitude

The Lady Cave has completely sucked me in. I spend my waking hours in this sugar plum den with absolutely no desire to leave. Except maybe to do some baking in the kitchen downstairs, but only after the oven is preheated (I turn it on and run away for ten minutes or so, until the [...]

Holding A Monster By The Tail

After a weekend wrestling with two monsters - my finances and my creativity impulses - I feel like I have things under control. For the moment. I’m even feeling somewhat inspired. The Lady Cave (aka Womb Room aka Our Den) is in need of some finishing touches. Sadly most of the artwork I’ve been considering [...]

Shadow and Substance

These ongoing illnesses have been frustrating. And OH SO BORING. To bring up or to hear about but dammit all, they are affecting my quality of life (and the quality of my friends’ lives who have also been ill). I’m currently all bundled up in the Lady Cave at home, attempting to get some work [...]
